We would like to commend Dr. DavideGottsegen for his insightful column, “As war rolls on, support for Ukraine must continue,” in the Jan. 20 Gazette. He eloquently and correctly condenses the issues, outlines the over 1,000 year history of Ukraine and its people, and documents why Ukraine and Ukrainians are totally blameless in this unjustified, unprovoked war by Russia on this sovereign nation in Eastern Europe. As children of the Ukrainian diaspora, we learned about many of the topics noted in Gottsegen’s excellent column in our Ukrainian Saturday school classes on Ukraine, its language, culture, history, and religion. We are pleased and touched that he took the time and made the effort to share his wisdom with our community.

Health insurance has become necessary, with large and unpredictable health care costs always looming before each of us. Unfortunately, the majority of people have experienced problems when using their health insurance to pay for their medical care. Health insurance serves as the buffer between patients and the medical care system, using population pooling to mitigate the risk exposure on any one individual.

Twenty years ago, few people would have been able to imagine the energy landscape of today. In 2005, US oil production, after a long decline, had fallen to its lowest levels in decades, and few experts thought that would change.
In the case of upgrading electrical and broadband infrastructure, new analysis from the University of Massachusetts Amherst reveals {that a} “dig once” strategy is almost 40% more economical than changing them individually.
